Sample Clip from the Seattle Pilots Documentary

A short clip from "The Seattle Pilots: Short Flight Into History." This is a documentary about the 1969 Seattle Pilots - the only Major League Baseball team in the modern era to play only one year in a city. After the 1969 season the franchise was purchased by Bud Selig and moved to Milwaukee where they became the Brewers. The film explores the reasons for the move and celebrates the legacy of the team. www.seattlepilotsfilm.com

@nemesisgenius I have one of their caps and I wear mine all the time too. Funny thing is, I've never been to Seattle. I live in Michigan. Why do I wear it? 'Cause the Pilots cap is the coolest in MLB history. You'd be amazed how many people, even in my part of the country, recognize it.

YAY PILOTS!! I have two pilots jerseys and a Seattle Pilots cap I still wear with pride after 42 years of non existance. GO PILOTS GO!!!

Jim Bouton's book, Ball Four, goes into the Pilot's only season in detail. It's pretty funny, and revealing.

If they didn't have the coolest cap in MLB history, I'd like to know who did.

This video is totally awesome! The Pilots team was perhaps the funniest group of ballplayers ever! I love these stories! God Bless you guys!
